HISTORY OF HOMLESS SHELTER IN AUBURN, CA

Beginning in Winter 2014, the non-profit organization Right Hand Auburn, (RHA) devoted its energy to passionately advocating for an emergency homeless shelter to serve those in need in the Auburn area.

The Auburn Shelter opened June 1, 2015 on a temporary 90 day basis granted by the County of Placer and in November 2015 became a 24/7 center in a former Placer County barrack no longer being used by the county.

In March 2016 the Auburn Shelter operation contract was awarded by Placer County to Volunteers of America Northern California and Northern Nevada. VOA-NCNN operates all shelter programs, staff, case management, policies, oversees volunteers other than those for meal service and also all Placer Country contractual requirements.

The Right Hand Auburn organization continues to provide all meals for the Auburn Shelter and is the driving force in community relations - encouraging ongoing homeless studies & planning with the City of Auburn and County of Placer.

If you are in need of shelter services please call Placer County Coordinated Entry toll-free 1-833-375-2237
